I suppose I lean on the side of conservatism with my car. My light came on around 15K, and it's not like I've babied my car over those miles. I assumed it would come on a little earlier.
I've read posts from this board and other Saab boards, the consensus is that the light always seems to come on around 15k & 30k etc.. despite the TSB
INTERMEDIATE SERVICE is set by an algorithm that determines when service is required. Miles driven, crankshaft revolutions, number of starts/cold starts, ambient temperatures, speed and engine temperature are among the measurements used to compute the interval with the TIME FOR SERVICE message being set between 8,000 and a maximum of 15,000 miles. If the mileage interval is not met, the message will be set at 2 years.
